Show Notes

Today we are going to discuss a Gothic tale that was not considered anything spectacular at its first publication in 1910. It was pulpy, it was trashy, and overall not considered literary in any way, shape or form. Yet in the following century it has accumulated countless adaptions, the most famous being Andrew Lloyd Webber’s hit Broadway Music. Welcome to Phantom of the Opera!
